WHO KILLED HA0DoCK?
The Evidence Concluded in the
Second Trial Of John
Arensdorf.
The Slayer of Rev. Geo. c. Haddock
the Methodist Minister,
Mooted Question.
Conclusion Of the Tcstimony-Synopsis
Of the Evidence OF Principal
Witnesses.
LSiouA City. 1owa. Correspondenee.


The taking of evidence in the Hnddock
murder case, in which John Arensdorf,
the brewer, is on trial the second time
charged with tho homicide, was completed
in the district court Monday, December 5,
and the arguments to the jury then began.
The state rested from rebuttal the pre-
vious Saturday, and the defense re sted
from sur rebuttal early Monday. large
number OF the witnesses who testified foc
the defense ut the former trial were ex-
amined, and on material points their evil
dence was a repetition of that given at the
first trial.
The most important testim ony given for
the defense was that of LOUIS Hagenois,
former cook at the Shepherd Restaurant,
and Mr.. Co,san, proprietor OF the Cataract
house at Sioux Falls. Their evidence was
very strong, tending to show that the de-
PENDANT was i'll the Shepherd saloon when
the shot was fired which killed Haddock.
Their evidence, however, was damaged by
that introduced in rebuttal. The sur-re-
bu,,u amounted to little else than the ex-
am ning of witnesses who testified TO the
good rcputa of other witnesses. A synop-
Sis Of the more important testimony Is
given.

THE FIGHT Is NOW ON.

The PrOhibitiOnists ut last get their wish
in having the prohibition amendment sub
mitted to the people, The fight is now on
and the people of Ohio county and some
other section sol the State are not going To
have a hurtful and obnoxious law thrust
upon them without q struggle.
All this comes fr rom the fact that Sen
ators FkOURNOY and PRICE, from some
unknown cause, have seen lit to change
their votes. AS Senator PRICE must have
seen that there was u probability OF the
amendment passing ii once submitted, II
is hard 10 reconcile his action with the rec
ord he made i'm the last Legislature. When
he WAS arguing for his license bill. he said
that it il were not adopted a Prohibition
law would likely DC passed in the near
future (which would not only reduce the
revenue and take much taxable property
out of the State, but would fill the city
with nothing but low and Illicit gin mills
doing a cOntraband whisky trade"
His prophecies may cOme true. But it
is strange Indeed for a man to believe such
things and then vote to help bring about
that deplOrable state of affairs.
There are no doubt quite a number of
men in the two houses of the Legislature
who voted for submission, yet who will
vote against the amendment at the polls,
on the ground that the people of the State
should be permitted to pass such a measure
if they wish to. This does look so from
one point of view. But when we consider
that every town and county in the State
can have prohibition under the present
local option law If 1t wants it, it looks
like it is unjust and against the principles
of u free government for some couu-
ties 10 thrust il upon others
that do not want it, and in which it can
not be enforced aud will result in great
harm. Especially is such a course against
the principles of the Democratic party
that has always opposed "Sumptuary laws
which vex the citizen and interfere with
individual liberty as is said in the last
National Democratic platform, For men
to vote for a resolution that viii probably
foiSt such an unwelcOme law on certain
sections of the State, with the intention of
afterwards opposing it, is like setting fire
TO a house with the intention of using
futile efforts to put it out. 1t were better
not to fire the house.
While we respect tie gentlemen who
have seen fit to encourage an injury to this
section Of the State, we must confess that
we think they have make a grave mis-
take.

hereinafter directed; provided, that no es-
tate which may be valued at q less sum
than one thousand dollars shall be subject
to the tax imposed by this section.
This is a measure that will bring very
little money into the Treasury of the
State. The men are few who die with
estates worth more than $1,000, and have
not parents, wife, children or lineal de-
scendants upon whom to bestow their
goods.
But still if the law would do little good,
it could DO no harm. And what few per-
sons there will be in the State who will
receive estates from distant relatives, or
friends, should be willing to allow the
State to share in their good fortune TO the
extent of two and one half cents on the
hundred dollars.

for the best five acres of corn raised in the
State; ~ for a drainage contest with both
modern horse and steam-power tile drain

be three prizes in each contest-SlOO for
the first, $50 for the second and SO for the

Corn and pork are great products for

in the contest. There is more to be gained
for the public in offering such prizes rs

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND again shows
his good sense in vetOing the bill to spend
$1O,O 600 in distributing seeds among the
observation-disclosures in Texas. These people
are no doubt worthy and in need of assist

and the charitable people Of adjoining

If once the Government enters into the
